The List of Shame

Published by Drama Mama under Hmmmm..., IMO, Music, Time Wasters

We all have them, those songs that we should probably be too “something” for – too old, too cool, too un-cool, too non-conventional, too mainstream, too whatever..but despite it all, we still love them.
Or maybe we know a song is really bad: the lyrics are beyond awful, the singer had enough electronic assistance and back-up [...]

All Hail the Google and a fawn by any other name is, well, not a fawn

Published by Drama Mama under Hmmmm..., Time Wasters, Writing

It’s been awhile since I’ve burned the midnight oil so many nights in a row, probably not since Miss A was a screaming cranky mess of a baby (Lil G has been a good sleeper pretty much since day 1, BLESS her).
Trying to squeeze NaNo writing time into my day just isn’t happening, so I [...]

Yes, I am aware…

Published by Drama Mama under Hobbies, Time Wasters, Website

Yes, I am aware my blog header is still “summer fun” and we have now said goodbye to the first week of November. I plan to have a simply gaw-jus fall banner up before Thanksgiving…I think.
Come to think of it, there are many other ways I can finish that sentence:
Yes, I am aware -
- that [...]

How to Write Mo’ during NaNoWriMo

1 day of writing down and 29 to go…I managed to get 5k of words down, which gave me a nice start, I think. Even on the first day it was a little difficult, once I had jumped the first hurdle: finding some free time away from the husband, Miss A & Lil’ G, I [...]

Making Classics out of a Classic: Star Wars + Famous Art + PhotoShop = Win!

I can’t remember the Google search I was workin’ on when I stumbled across awesomeness from a galaxy far far away: apparently a contest had been held calling all nerds and artists to use their madskillz to create pastiches ala Lucas.
This is the picture that first caught my eye in the Google image search:

My eye [...]

Butt Rock and People of WalMart

Published by Drama Mama under Hmmmm..., Time Wasters

A few weeks ago I was at a book club meeting and somehow the term “butt rock” came up…that is to say, at some point I referred to a band as possible butt rock and received blank stares in return.
It seems none of my lady book club friends have heard this term.
Butt Rock was first [...]

Guilty Pleasure

Published by Drama Mama under Cool Stuff, Time Wasters

I spend a bit too much time on the interwebs, I’ll admit – but in my defense, I hardly ever watch t.v.
Like ever.
The husband and I try to catch The Soup together on Friday nights, and that pretty much covers my viewing time for the week.
Last night the Soup had a clip from the Daytime [...]

Something Cool For the BookWorm In Me

If you have ever stopped by here for a visit before, you may have noticed I had a helluva lotta links to books…books I was currently reading, books I had read recently, books I planned to read soon – even books I had started to read and put down somewhere and never finished.
I love books. [...]

When Something Might be Funnier Than It Should Be

Published by Drama Mama under Hmmmm..., Time Wasters

I was in the mood for a laugh, so I decided to pay a quick visit to icanhascheezburger. However, nothing on their cover page was really getting the giggles going, so I did some clicking around, and found a link on their site to “look-alikes” basically side by side pictures of any two items that [...]

A Classic WTF moment

Published by Drama Mama under Hmmmm..., IMO, Kids, Movies, Time Wasters

Miss A is following in her mama’s footsteps. Around the time I was 6 years old I became completely obsessed with all things Star Wars (having a crush on Luke Skywalker might have been part of it). For some reason, I would have this reoccurring dream that Luke was coming to visit me at my [...]
